When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,
and I wanted to paint another one!
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat,
and I wanted to be kind to animals!
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake, just for me,
and I knew that little things are special things!
When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer,
and I believed there was a God i could always talk to!
When you thought I wasn't looking, I felt you kiss me goodnight,
and I felt loved!
When you thought i wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes,
and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's allright to cry!
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared,
and I wanted to be everything that I could be!
When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked!,....
and wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw,
When you thought I wasn't looking!




This is my family. We look like the ideal American family, don't we. Well, we're not, but we're pretty darned close! As you can see we have slightly exceed the 2.1 children per family average, but who wants 1/10th of a child running around the house?!?! This is an average day at our house, and pretty much how you would find us if you dropped in on any given day (right!). We built our house a couple years ago, and we really love it. We found some plans, modified it to suit our family and lifestyle, then started building our dreams. It was quite a learning experience, we still use the builder's name as a byword in our house, but now that it's all done, I can definitely say it was worth it, though I wouldn't want to go through that again anytime soon. As you can tell, it became incumbent upon me to don the old tool belt and direct the construction myself, but it all worked out in the end. We have the builder's body hidden under 8 feet of concrete in the corner of the basement ;-). The link below will show you some of the progress.



Our House






May you always have....
A sunbeam to warm you,
Good luck to charm you,
And a sheltering angel,
so nothing can harm you,
Laughter to cheer you,
Faithful friends near you,
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you!
